Cheery Chipboard

I never use chipboard….well, never is a strong word.  Hardly ever!  But Ann at Creative Antics led me to a cute blog called wee Memories; they are having a challenge to use chipboard.  AND the Everything But The Kitchen Sink blog is having a button challenge!  And buttons I DO use! It also qualifies for the Limelight Sketch Challenge 53:

  So I pulled out some retired SU chipboard, some colorful DP scraps from various makers and some buttons and went to work:

I apologize for the odd photo—my sister is visiting and staying in my spare bedroom, which is also my photography “studio”!! LOL!  So I set up my photo area on the floor of my craft room and was taking this picture practically laying down…..anyway, here it is!  I did some stitching and made a cute little tag; this card is larger than an A2; I had some larger envelopes so I just made it to fit one of them!!  Plus it needed to be bigger to fit those fun flowers!  I used circle punches to punch the centers out of the different DPs…such a great help!  And made for some fun embellishments on the inside:

They are good for covering up smudges that your inky fingers may have made, too…..just sayin’,  in case that might happen to anyone….

Thanks for visiting today!!!
